Tried CD player Cary 300/300 and LOVED it, now what?

I’m the OP and happy to report my finding.

@jafant YES, I bought a preowned Ayre cx7 and, instantly, it murdered both of my Bryston bcd-1 and Cary cd300/300. The Ayre was a made in heaven. A God sent. Full of synergy and very “vinyl” sounding. (I have not tried the Ayre with a DAC yet.)
The Bryston bcd-1 was quickly went back in its original box and seated aside- It was no comparison. Hint, I will sale it soon. (Silver color with all originals if anyone interested to give it a new home.)

Without the DAC, the Cary cd300/300 was dull and congest against the Ayre cx7 but with a DAC ($250 Peachtree iT-x) the Cary was 3 times better; dynamic, nicely detailed, musical and sweet and I think I’d love it dearly but sorry the Ayre was clearly on a diff level. Hint, I will too prob put the Cary up for sale in couple months. (Black color with all originals)
Happy listening.

getting in here late it looks like but I too bought a Cary 300 on a whim and love it. In trying to improve on it I bought a used Cary 200ts DAC and used the 300 as a transport. I am very happy with this combo. I also reclock the 200ts with an Esoteric G03x master clock with very satisfying results. 4 AKMs vs two Burr Browns dac chips in the units
